Season 4 of Star Trek: The Next Generation seemed like the year of family. After quickly resolving the breathtaking cliffhanger of 'The Best of Both Worlds,' the show took pains to show some of what the Federation was fighting for. We meet Picard's brother, Data's father, Tasha's sister, and Worf's adoptive human parents, plus an old flame with a surprise son in tow. The Klingon heritage subplot that begins here and builds to the cliffhanger finale ('Redemption') would continue to the show's end and through into Worf's reappearance in Deep Space Nine.
The year also explored the implications of Data, Lwaxana Troi, Geordi, and Dr. Crusher being in love, while Miles O'Brien (given a first name at last) married Keiko. There were old friends revisited: the ubiquitous Q in a hilarious Robin Hood romp ('Qpid'), perennial screwup Reg Barclay ('Nth Degree'), and even the mysterious Traveler from season 1's 'Where No One Has Gone Before' (played by Eric Menyuk, who was nearly cast as Data). There were new races introduced who would have an important bearing on Trek's destiny: the Cardassians and the Trill. Most of all, though, there were the one-off stories that impressed: 'Clues,' with its memory-loss mystery; 'Night Terrors,' with some genuine frights; and 'Identity Crisis,' with possibly the only time Trek technology really helped Geordi solve a puzzle. Then right at the end, reinforcing the year's familial theme, Denise Crosby returned as her own half-Romulan daughter! --Paul Tonks

Rating:  - Star Trek The Next Generation - The Complete Fourth Season
I ended up purchasing the entire series after sampling with season 4. Apparently the 4th was about the time when you got to see the actors doing a lot of the directing.This one has Jordi as a lizzard;Picard in France just freed from the Borg;Data plays his dad,himself, and brother;Whorf has a wife and a son; Wesley survives the dessert/saves Picard and runs off to the Academy;.. a good season.I was sad when it was all familiar again.
Rating: - Excellent Set with Numerous Special Features
I saw very few episodes of Star Trek THG went it was originally aired. I am thoroughly enjoying the 4th season. I have previously purchased and watched the first three seasons. Each year the quality and special effects improve.
Rating: - Trekky
What's to say: the product was in great shape as it arrived, and for a real trekky this is a must have...
Rating: - It's TNG =()
To be honest, the series didn't really start to take off until season 3, but unlike Voyager which followed a strong first season with consistent monotony, TNG starts on a strong foot (Best of Both Worlds II) and ands on an equally, however very different, strong foot (Redemption I).
The series begins to become a little more political tackling many social issues that are very relevant today, but perhaps the my favorite parts are the small intellectual incursions into Klingon society.
..and as with all TNG, if you can't own it, you should see it.
Rating: - Increasingly Wonderful
Star Trek: The Next Generation is, by far, my own personal favorite TV show of all time. The thing I enjoyed watching the most was the development of the characters over successive seasons. The first season kind of felt like a whole bunch of disjoined elements coming together, more times than not, awkwardly. By season four though, things were really running smoothly. Everything worked together well. So far, this set has been the one I have enjoyed the most. I also appreciated watching the unique and individualized methods of each of the characters in being determined to adhere to their own morality. No one was ever lazy or greedy or self-centered. Everyone had integrity. Nonetheless they all approached this integrity in really different ways. It's about all I could ask for in a show.
